Although other similar "bytecodes" existed before, the term "p-code" or "pcode" came from the earliest implementations of Pascal, ncluding Pascal/S (subset) and Pascal-P, starting around 1972. Those originally ran on the CDC 6600, though the Pascal-P series of compilers were ported to many other machines, and served as the inspiration for UCSD Pascal.
